- ■First of all,
- Greetings, pilots! This is Nakagawa and it is time for the developer newsletter.
Fall in the air… well, I want to say that the temperature dropped crazily in Nov. and it is almost like winter in Japan!
Covid season is gone but BE aware of flu, because the cases are getting more and more, take care as we need you on the battlefield, pilot! - Let’s get to the topic of this month’s updates.
- ■New game mode, Situation battle!
- We will launch the new game mode “Situation Battle” to GBO2 in the near update.
- In this mode, you will play in a scene actually from the Gundam stories which has also the same situation from stories.
Pilots have to use the unit and equipments that we had already set for you,
which means you CANNOT use your own but still can play this mode even you don’t have the decent units.
So Come by and take a try! - Before that, let me introduce you more details about “Situation Battle”.
- ◇Point ① Random MS for every game you play!
- “Situation Battle” is based on “Basic”, but pilot will randomly assigned a MS in the briefing room.
(Briefing room is the last confirm for all pilots joining the game.)
Units in the scene are solid and randomly assigned to each pilot before the game started.
Also, pilots will NEVER know which MS is assigned to them until the game is started. 
- ◇Point ② Different task for MSs in each game
- In this mode, every unit has their own task and position to play in the team.
For example, - “Play as the ACE and earn score as much as possible”
“A plain MS but able to support your teammate, help your ACE massively”
“Extra good at XXX and perfectly deal with specific type of MSs” - Just like that, pilots are expected to have different moves and skills compare to the other game modes.
(Like, this time you have to play Zaku as support but next time it could be the ACE in the team but still using Zaku.) - The key to win in this mode is to cooperate with your teammate based on your position, support the whole team and head to your victory.
- ※Here comes a big tip, units in “Situation Battle” are adjusted and their status is different to normal.
- ■New weapons for existing units
- New weapons for existing units
- ●New sub-weapon “Child Funnels x6 [Stationary]” for Geymalk
- Pilot can launch and settle the Mother Funnel,
then it will launch “Child Funnels” which automatically search and attack the enemies in the range.
While this weapon activated, other weapons need “Mother Funnel” or “Child Funnels” will NOT able to be used.
Still, you can combine the other weapons and make a good combo,
and also cover a couple of teammates at the same time. - ■About the inappropriate action in GBO2
- We have stood a clear message all the time from the very release,
ANY kinds of action annoying other pilots is obviously unacceptable.
And, we are delivering our policy to all of you again here. - We will NEVER allow,
- ・Intentionally friendly fire
・Abandoning the battle and continuous incorporate actions
・Disconnecting from battle
・Verbal insult to other pilots via chat or mail - or any other actions which may cause other pilots’ unpleasantness in GBO2.
ONCE we confirm the report’s credibility, then warning will be sent to the target or even banning the account forever.
Of course, we have NO mind to change this policy in the future as well. - We aware that the moral line is getting closer and closer, and some words might be okay in the past but it’s causing a trouble these days.
We just want to provide a comfortable game environment to all pilots, and it may be a good idea to think about if your words will hurt someone else.
We would like to share you all our missions, let all of you enjoy the game, make friends with each other, and to create GBO2 the best ever and ever. - ■New MS “Rozen Zulu” arriving!
- New 700 cost support MS “Rozen Zulu” from “Mobile Suit Gundam UC” is now joining GBO2!
This special MS is based on the Geara Zulu and has been modified to share the spare parts from Sinanju.
In GBO2, you can make full use of the “Psycho-Jammer”, excel at dealing with MS those have NT-D or psycommu-armaments. - ＜Unit features＞
